  • A conversation on AI & Tech in Education
    Jun 8 2023

    #032 - Welcome back to Snaresbrook Prep Uncovered for a different kind of episode this week. Ralph and I don’t have a guest, we do have a topic but intentionally we don’t have a structured plan of where this conversation will go.

    We’re talking about tech in education and some of that includes AI. It’s a longer episode than normal and it’s much more of a general conversation around the subject. So it’s just like being with us in a coffee shop and you’re sat there at the next table.

    This is an easy episode to listen to so join us both now as we talk about technology, AI and education.

  • The School Journey
    May 9 2023

    #030 - Welcome to Snaresbrook Prep Uncovered, the podcast where we talk with staff, pupils and parents to understand more about life at the school.

    Each episode I’m joined by Ralph Dalton, Headteacher at the school and today, in this episode, we’re talking about the school journey, how children progress and develop through the school years, whether it’s right that children should stay in school until the end of Year 6, the idea of reinventing oneself (very interesting) and much much more. But we also start of talking about by accident, about optimism, pessimism and expectations vs experience - that part’s nothing to do with school life but it’s quite good fun.

    That’s all coming up in this episode so come with me now as we speak to Headteacher, Ralph Dalton.
